I'm making a quilt for one son- just a simple random brick pattern since he said he doesn't like "fussy". For my oldest I'm making quilted placemats - he loves to cook and entertain. For a few guys in my office who are big golfers I made luggage handle wraps with a really cute golf tee fabric. They got them early for a long, drawn out reason, but they seemed to really like them.

Every year I give the females in my family a quilt. They have more quilts than I do. But I have also given the males a manly quilt. This year I haven't made any manly quilts so I have no idea what to give them except gift cards to Cabela's.

I am making slipper boots for all the blokes (men) in the family. I have been saving old pairs of Jeans all year, and have recovered enough material to make the boots from denim. I have loads of brightly coloured and patterned fabrics (Orange, lime green, reds and yellows, with spots and stripes etc, etc) for the linings. Some slipper gripper fabric on the soles, and some old very thin fleece for the wadding (batting) inside (between the denim and the lining). Very Cozy. I have about 15 pairs cut out so far, but need to get a move on if they are all going to be finished in time!

My DH is in a couple of old boys garage rock n roll/blues bands, and he records other old boys, so I got some wild flame fabric and am covering some notebooks for him to use at gigs to hold set lists, music, flyers, email signup sheets and business card holder pages, etc.
